No matter how many obituaries you have for an ancestor, that one you have not located may have a clue. The obituaries for this 1913 death contain essentially the same information–except for one that stated a daughter was living in Oklahoma. She only lived there a short time around her father’s death and the obituary was the only connecting piece of information. Small towns near where your ancestor lived, county seat towns, and the nearest “big town” may all run an obituary on your ancestor.

And any one of them may contain a clue the others do not.
